New Items

In addition to all the changes coming to existing AP items, two new options are also being added. The first is Oblivion Orb, the item seen above that builds into Morellonomicon, and with the second being Spellbinder, an item that adopts the former build path of Luden's Echo with a movement speed-granting active.

Oblivion Orb

• BUILD PATH: Ruby Crystal + Amplifying Tome + 665 gold

• UNIQUE ACTIVE: Gain a maximum of 30% decaying movement speed and 100 ability power for 4 seconds, based on charges spent (60 second cooldown)

Twin Shadows Returns, Small Item Changes

The last of the new items is one that's really not that new at all: Twin Shadows. This item was a must-have for many supports as well as other AP champions thanks to its active effect that slows nearby enemies, the effect that the Frost Queen's Claim had before the effect was removed.

In addition to this new item, several other items received small changes that Riot Games referred to as "efficiency adjustments."

Twin Shadows

• BUILD PATH: Fiendish Codex + Aether Wisp + 650 gold
• TOTAL COST: 2400 gold

• MOVEMENT SPEED: 7%
• COOLDOWN REDUCTION: 10%
• UNIQUE ACTIVE: Spectral Pursuit: Summons 2 Spooky Ghosts that hunt down nearby champions, revealing them and Haunting them on contact. Haunted enemies are slowed by 40% for up to 5 seconds based on the distance the ghosts travel. (90 second cooldown)

Void Staff

Ability Power: 80 ⇒ 70

Rabadon's Deathcap
